Any one have any ideas to help transition from bottle to sippy cup? My son will take about two sips and that's it.

What can I do next?

Hi!

I did the same as Anne, suddenly we couldn't find my daughters bottle, we searched all over the house and I gave her the sippy cup and voila' she took right to it!

Hope it helps!

My son did the same thing. I bought one of those rubber top "nubby" cups at walmart and he got used to the sippy shape but still had the rubber, i intruduced a plastic top one, a few weeks later and he transitioned beautifully

Hi L.. I had to show my daughter exactly how the water/milk comes out of the sippy cup. At first, the cups that require a good amount of suck were hard for her to understand. She would take a sip and then scream for her bottle. I bought a really cheap cup without a plug/stopper and kept showing her over and over how the fluid comes out. I would show her on a surface and then into her mouth. It was messy and took a few trys but eventually she got it. Then I started trying with the Playtex Sippy cups again and she caught on. Just be persistent. He'll get it!

Hi -
Maybe try another type sippy cup, you would be surprised how different they all are, my daughter was easy, but I went through alot of different ones until we found the one my son would use. The other suggestion is a juice box, they love using the straws.

Good Luck!

L.,

When my kids were going through this transition, I just "lost" the bottle. It suddenly disappeared ... it took a little while but definitely worked!

Best of luck!
